Williams Gallas has questioned Arsenal’s signing of Leandro Trossard and wonders if the Belgian has what it takes to lift the levels at the Emirates.
Arsenal is in a Premier League title race and invested in their squad in January to maintain their spot at the top of the league table.
One man who joined them was Trossard after they missed out on the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk, who moved to Chelsea instead.
The Belgian caught the eye of many clubs when he played for Brighton and will help Arsenal rest some of their attackers, but does he have the quality to improve Mikel Arteta’s options?
Gallas says via Metro Sport:
‘I don’t know if Leandro Trossard is a good signing. He has a big profile like his fellow teammates but the question is, can he lift his level at a big club?
‘If it’s a good signing, he will help take Arsenal to victory. When you bring players to a big club, they have to play really well, so we need to wait and see what happens.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Trossard has been one of the reliable attackers in the Premier League for the last few seasons and the Belgian will be an important contributor to our team eventually.
However, we need that to happen soon and not in the future, so he has to make the necessary adjustments quickly.

Does he have to “lift his level”?
I’m not sure Trossard was bought as a player to develop, he seems to be a player who was bought because he’s already a good player, fitted a need and was available at a reasonable price in January.
Yeah definately he is going to flourish at Arsenal cos he`s got the capabilities
Gallas must chill.
I think the left wing is too isolated, a reason why Martineli/Trossard would find it tough, Nketiah’s doesn’t support like Jesus does, while Zinchenko and Xhaka drifts into the middle,
I would prefer Nketiah is subed for Trossard in matches, while Martineli moves to CF, this way our fire power and workrate is increased.
Gallas seems to be a penny short of a shilling in terms of considered thought.Trossard was consistently good for Brighton and to be successful with Arsenal all we need is for him to maintain that level of performance.In his brief appearances to date, he has not disappointed me,and clearly he adds strength and depth to our attacking options as he can operate anywhere in the front three.I would like to think he would be give a start against a tough and resilient Brentford side.
Trosard is extremely good even better than I expected,the way he dribles into the opponents box,the speed the skills proves to me that he’s the quality we need now to win the trophy
